Aaaaand, the check light was back on the next morning. Think I found the problem, though.
Didn't help to leave the switch off all day. Got fed up and was going to try to manually light it, even if it blew the dang RV up.
It did make a scary loud poof, maybe blew itself out. As I sat there in the dark, I saw tiny little sparkings running along the metal pipe in the back, everywhere the *insulated* igniter wire was touching it! Strung some electrical tape around to keep the thinly-insulated little wire from touching any metal.
Fridge fired right up. I should've listened to myself when I recalled that I had been wiggling that igniter wire, right before the fridge started working yesterday...
